    Who are some fighters that blow up as soon as they are out of the fight? I wonder why they do that... do they like being fat?

    Here are some fighters that come to mind.

    1. Vargas
    2. Hatton
    3. Morales
    4. Chris Arreola
     
  2. Rudyard

    You forgot to add Solis on the list...He's a good heavyweight prospect but he needs to lose a couple of pounds as well.

    Because they're lazy ****ers.

    Bar Hatton, he's just an alcoholic.

    That guy puts in more work in training on average than anybody.

    He can come into his training camp at nie on cruiserweight and still get down to 140 and be in fantastic condition.

    I was thinking about this not too long ago....

    I always wonder from the active fighters right now which ones would get fat as hell once they retire.....

    What a sillyass thread. Of course they don't "like" being fat. Picture your favorite foods and then being told you can't eat of any that stuff anymore since you are now a professional athlete who is expected to always be in fabulous shape. So after years of starving yourself and you finally do call it a career, you don't think you're gonna over-indulge just a little bit?

    Goes the same for boxers who havent retired yet, like Toney or Hatton. They train hard in those camps for 4-5 months before fights. Those workouts are grueling, man.. of course they will treat themselves to a bit of food in between fights. It's all about self-discipline though. Some fighters have more than others.

    He works harder than anybody because he has to due to the lifestyle he chooses to have out of training.Mind you he gets £12,000 a pop for public/after dinner speaking.Not bad,£12K to get pissed and tell the same **** jokes over and over

  15. It dosen't take a genius to figure this one out, because they sit on their ass, over-eat, and drink a lot of beer..
    Vargas cheated himself would have had a better career if he kept in better shape, ..
    Arreola looks like a fat slob, soft and flabby, his training consists of walking to jack in the box everyday, and walking to his fridge to get his next beer, he's leaving the ring on his back if he fight's either Klitchko:yep..
    Hatton drinks a lot, but so far his talent has been able to over come his lust for booze, he won't be able to get away with that **** once he gets into his 30's which is coming up soon..
    james Toney, and Sam Peter should be on this list also:deal
